Report: Britain to Use Google Against Terrorists Posted: 13 Apr 2009 11:05 PM PDT
The British government may be deploying a new weapon against terrorists: Google. According to the tech-related news site The Register, the Home Office’s Office for Security and Counter Terrorism plans to work with “approved” Islamist Web sites to “flood the Internet” with pro-Western viewpoints. It will train the operators of the pro-Western sites in search-engine optimization, an arcane strategy that basically makes sure your site is near the top of Google, Yahoo and Microsoft LiveSearch results pages. That way, young British Muslims searching online for say, “jihad,” will get pro-Western Web sites instead of Al Qaeda mouthpieces, or so the theory “In order to support mainstream voices, we work with local partners to help develop their communication, representational and leadership skills,” an include media training, which can help make their voices heard more widely, and support the development of skills which allow communities to be more effective in debate.” ![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=b43bddca-5ecc-46af-952f-994e2b2f0173) This story comes to us via Homeland Security - National Share this post |

North Korea to Restart Nuclear Weapons Plant Posted: 13 Apr 2009 09:54 PM PDT
North Korea vowed Tuesday to bolster its nuclear deterrent and boycott six-party talks aimed at its denuclearization in protest of a U.N. Security Council statement condemning the country’s recent rocket launch. North Korea’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it “resolutely condemns” the action by the United Nations, which it said “rampantly” infringes upon the country’s sovereignty and “severely debases” the people’s dignity. “We have no choice but to further strengthen our nuclear deterrent to cope with additional military threats by hostile forces,” the statement said. The statement also said that “six-party talks that we are taking part in are not necessary any more.” Those negotiations, which also involve China, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the United States, began in 2003 and have been aimed at achieving North Korea’s denuclearization. The North also said it will restore nuclear facilities it has been disabling in line with an international disarmament-for-aid deal negotiated under the ![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=50131063-ce5c-46d3-bfe6-0c739a8d67f0) This story comes to us via Homeland Security - National Share this post |
Al Shabaab Claims Resposibility For Mortar Attack Posted: 13 Apr 2009 05:02 PM PDT
Donald M. Payne, a New Jersey congressman and the chairman of the House sub-committee on Africa, narrowly escaped a mortar attack on Monday as he was ending a quick and rare visit to Somalia’s bullet-ridden capital. Just a day after American military snipers killed three Somali pirates and freed a kidnapped sea captain, eliciting vows of revenge from pirates and other Somalis, several mortars exploded in the vicinity of Mr. Kenya. At least 10 civilians were wounded in the explosions. The congressman was unhurt and it was unclear if insurgents who another assault on the city’s main lifeline. An Islamist insurgent group vying for control of the country, Al Shabaab, later took responsibility for the attack, Reuters reported. “We fired on the airport to target the so-called democratic congressman sent by Obama,” said Sheikh Hussein Ali, a spokesman for Al Shabaab. “Let him go back with the message of our strength and enmity towards the U.S. and its allies. No single group can claim control of Mogadishu, and Al Shabaab will continue its attacks.” This story comes to us via Homeland Security - National Share this post |
